When camping with chapters of the Ancient and Honorable Order of E Clampus Vitus, the one "adult beverage" of choice is...BEER!  Hey! It's easy and no mixing is needed.

Some people aren't fond of beer, so they may opt instead for wine or a highball of some sort.

There are some cocktails suited for camping and RV Life has a list of five of them along with recipes to make them

They begin with:

The keys to easy mixed drinks for camping are:

1. The fewest mixing items possible.
2. Items that take up the least amount of space.
3. Some of the familiar tastes of home, but a little vacation flavor thrown in.
4. Will hit-the-spot whether you are cold or warm camping.
5. And creates the least number of messy dishes when you are done.

So, these mixed drinks are ‘one pot’ options using only three ingredients that can all be mixed in advance or in one cup.  You can drink them hot or cold.  You can make them in advance if you want, but then you lose a little of the camping ‘spirit’ if you don’t create the drinks onsite. 

Tip:  Choose your mixed drinks so they will fit your mood when you arrive at your campgrounds. To save space, bring individual serving sizes of the alcohol and mixers.  If you want any of the drinks warmed, bring along a pan and items to build a fire or heat liquid, and if you want iced, have your ice chest full and handy.
